Analysis of Circular RNAs Using the Web Tool CircInteractome
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are generated through nonlinear back splicing, during which the 5' and 3' ends are covalently joined. Consequently, the lack of free ends makes them very stable compared to their counterpart linear RNAs. By selectively interacting with microRNAs and RNA-binding pro...

| Shrnutí: | Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are generated through nonlinear back splicing, during which the 5' and 3' ends are covalently joined. Consequently, the lack of free ends makes them very stable compared to their counterpart linear RNAs. By selectively interacting with microRNAs and RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), circRNAs have been shown to influence gene expression programs. We designed a web tool, CircInteractome, in order to (1) explore potential interactions of circRNAs with RBPs, (2) design specific divergent primers to detect circRNAs, (3) study tissue- and cell-specific circRNAs, (4) identify gene-specific circRNAs, (5) explore potential miRNAs interacting with circRNAs, and (6) design specific siRNAs to silence circRNAs. Here, we review the CircInteractome tool and explain recent updates to the site. The database is freely accessible at http://circinteractome.nia.nih.gov . |
